Uses the federal FLSA default: overtime after 40 hours per workweek at 1.5× the regular rate. State rules can differ.
What counts as overtime
In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets the federal baseline: non-exempt employees must receive at least 1.5 times their regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a single workweek. The workweek is any fixed, recurring period of 168 hours; it does not have to match the calendar week.
Several states add their own rules on top of the federal floor, including daily overtime thresholds and double-time requirements. When state and federal rules differ, the rule more generous to the employee applies. For specifics, check your state labor department or the U.S. Department of Labor.
How the math works
Regular pay covers hours up to the threshold: regular hours × hourly rate.
Overtime pay covers the hours past it: overtime hours × hourly rate × multiplier (1.5 for time and a half, 2 for double time).
Weekly total is the two added together. A 48-hour week at $20 per hour with a 40-hour threshold pays $800 regular + $240 overtime = $1,040.
Tracking overtime before it becomes a payroll surprise
A calculator tells you what last week cost. Tracking tells you why. Workotick logs hours automatically and its overtime report shows overtime days and early departures per member, so workload problems are visible while they can still be rebalanced.
Frequently asked questions.
Under the federal FLSA, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Multiply overtime hours by your rate and the multiplier, then add regular pay.
Time and a half means 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. At $20 per hour, overtime pays $30 per hour.
Federal law does not require double time. Some states, employers, and union agreements pay 2x in specific situations, such as long daily shifts or seventh consecutive workdays. Check your state rules and employment agreement.
No. Exempt employees, generally certain salaried roles meeting federal duties and salary tests, are not entitled to FLSA overtime. Most hourly employees are non-exempt and are.
Yes. The Workotick overtime report tracks overtime days and early departures per member automatically from tracked hours, so patterns show up before burnout does.
